RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a stay at home Mum who just loves food, a little too much I am afraid. After a childhood of boring food as an adult I am discovering the wonderful world of food out there. And am loving eating my way around the world!
I cook mainly arab, north african and mediteranean food. I love to collect cookbooks and have over 200 (way too many I know!).
I hope you enjoy some of the recipes that have brought me and my family great pleasure.
